Back to porridge…literally
As you may have guessed, the title represents not only the start of the university semester, but also my return to porridge as an alternative to breakfast cereal. It’s all part of my grander scheme to stay off milk as much as possible; which is in turn part of another even grander scheme. But that’s…

Back on track!
I’ve had yet another hectic week, but the weekend is here again. And with it leaves the burden of my practical report, but next week I have another presentation and test! Such is the life of a medical student, but I could care less about that at the moment. For now, there’s a weekend of…

The Skyrim edition (Skydition!)
The following entry was painstakingly written over two nights, the first part being rather brief, but it’ll still act as my intro. Previously on Friday (the typical recap sequence) : The title is pretty self explanatory. Alan brought Skyrim home, and I just thought I would play for half an hour to get a flavour…

Love the night, but hate the rain!
I’m sitting here, back at home after getting soaked walking around Belfast. My ‘waterproof’ coat was completely saturated 10 minutes into a 30 minute walk to the Europa. The title may seem weird, but also familiar to those who have played Vampire Rain – the game with some of the dodgiest voice acting ever. Have…

Halloween, and more
It has been another busy week, and I’d like to say I didn’t post last night because I was working, but really I was just playing the new Deus Ex DLC – The Missing Link. Halloween was on Monday of course, and strangely didn’t feel as “Halloweeny” thanks to the medic Halloween party being last…

The Phone Malfunction
I completely forgot about my Argos ordeal when I was writing last night, but now I will tell you a tale. A tale of phone repairs at Argos, and false replacements and so on. I first got my Orange San Francisco back in March of this year, to replace my i-mate Ultimate 8502 (still running…

Holograms and other stuff
Another busy week, and another post. I was working on this earlier in the week, but left my HP Jornada in Belfast so I’m starting again from scratch! Aside from the usual classes, I’ve started back to fencing (I was extremely rusty), camcorder club (apparently I’m doing a talk on sound in films, despite not…

Quest Completed!
This has been a very busy week with the start of semester and everything. As you’ve probably guessed from the achievement, my keyboard quest has finally drawn to a close. After a long trek to the Springfield road, I walked away with a 1995 IBM Model M, made in the UK by Lexmark. It’s one…

Back to work
This week has been pretty busy. I moved into my new place in Belfast properly on Tuesday night, and my time has been spent getting stuff organised for living there and the start of my university year. There’s a year of hard work ahead of me, but also a year of fun and some good…

Deus Ex, and other things
I’m on the road again, only for a short time though. My technological trio is with me – phone, ereader and HPC (which I’m using to type this). I’ve been away from the laptop for a while, working on my Xbox project which has now been aborted due to various reasons, mainly the loss of…
